Chapter 2374 - Is (1) (1/2)

Dyon flew through the skies with a smile on his face. If it wasn't for the fact every swing of his scythe unleashed bloody murder, one would think that he was taking a leisurely stroll in the park.

The size and weight of his scythe changed freely. Sometimes it was its original three-meter length, other times it expanded outward hundreds of meters at once, slicing apart massive cyclopes one after another. Limbs, heads and bodies dozens of meters inside were strewn about in the forest, saturating the infertile soil in a bloody mess.

[Author's Note: I know, I'm just as disappointed as you are. I looked up the plural of cyclops and it's actually cyclopes. What were our forefathers thinking?]

”Is this the mighty cyclops clan? Ancestor of the Giants? Why are you all falling so easily?”

Dyon released the beast babies and Chenglei.

The five had grown much more familiar with each other over the years. However, having not had many opportunities to battle as one, Dyon thought they may need some experience in coordination. Although he could take control of their actions with his overwhelming soul might, his soul stamina wasn't as free as it used to be anymore.

Every time Dyon used Reaper, he had to evoke the fundamental runes of its origin world. Though he could get away with not doing so now that Reaper had broken into the Empyrean Grade, this inaction would still cause a drastic drop in Reaper's prowess.

In order to do this, then, Dyon actually couldn't sustain it with his base soul strength alone. He had no choice but to burn his soul, which was why he had done so at the very start of the southern region battle.

Knowing this, it was obvious why Dyon couldn't spare the soul strength to micromanage everything.

In truth, he didn't feel he needed his beast partners for this battle, but he summoned them nonetheless. If he continued to shelter them too much, they would eventually become of no help to him. He had given them the sturdiest foundations imaginable. It was now up to them to grasp their own path forward.

The mindless slaughter continued. The cyclopes were obviously enraged by Dyon's words, but they were simply too weak to do anything about it.

As an Overlord Clan, the cyclopes had many Overlords. However, it wasn't as exaggerated as them being able to form an army of this scale. No matter what, Overlords were still incredibly rare existences.

Dyon might have only been facing an army of a few dozen thousand, but they were entirely constructed of Fallen and Higher Existences. Any Overlords who appeared were only the first facet and they maintained their distance, only daring to look on from hundreds of miles away.

Of course, they had no idea that Dyon could very clearly see them with his Immortal Sense. Or, maybe they were aware and knew Dyon was smart enough to probe the situation before diving in too fiercely.
